I've done the research and looked up references in material, and the only source I have found that identifies lightsabers being plasma is Shadows of Mindor. From what I've witnessed in Wookieepedia's handling of contradictory information, the minority is excluded from the majority, that is, when a singular source contradicts the masses, it is assumed to be an isolated error. That in mind, I don't believe plasma should be indicated as being the component of the lightsaber blade, as this contradicts virtually all past canon information on it. 99.59.217.234 20:17, June 18, 2014 (UTC)

Is this from a SW source, or is it just an editor's application of real-world physics terminology? Because there may be many formulations of "fundamental states of matter" or by in-universe scientists or by specific cultures or traditions (e.g. the four elements of the Shapers of Kro Var).
